There was missionary conference
in Eufaula, Indian Territory recently,
and an appeal was made to the Indian
congregation for money to send the
gospel to those that had it not. There
were three hundred persons in the con-
gregation, and the collection amounted
to $3.50, many of the Indians giving all
the money they had with them, and
some of the girls throwing bracelets,
rings, and other jewelry into the col
lection basket.
Preparations for the celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of Co
lumbia College are interesting collegi-
ate circles. The college was chartered
as Kings College October 81, 1854, and
the number Of students educated at the
college before 1775 was one hundred.
In May, 1884, the Legislature passed
an act which changed the name to
Columbia College, and the first student
under its new name and government
was t. De Witt Clinton. The history
of the college has been interesting.

New YORK, April Rev. James Curran,
the staunch friend and former assistant of
the deposed priest, DR.. McGlynn, appeared
with the latter at Jones' woods on St.
Patrick's Day, and for this was sent to
Ellenville, n. Y. He did not profit by the
hint, however, and came down Oh the night
of DR.. McGlynn's lecture and appeared on
the platform with him. For this he has
been ordered into solitary retreat at Ho-
boken, with fasts and penance, for ten days.
AT the palace of Archbishop Corrigan it
was intimated that the Pensioners of st.
Stephens would do well to take the hint
and behave themselves lest they should
suffer accommodation. The punishment
Of DR.. Curran is taken as evidence that Dr.
Corrigan's course toward DR.. McGlynn has
the approval of Rome. The parishioners
of st. Stephens are excited over the affair
and propose to hold a meeting in DR.. Cur
rams support, as they have done in DR..

Indictments Found Against Cook Coun

I1.) OfHciaIs and Others.
CHICAGO, April AT 80 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon the special grand jury came
into the criminal court, where Judge An
thony was sitting, and returned three
patches Of indictments against persons i'm
plicated in the county frauds, there being q
total Of twenty-three presentments. Who
the indictments are against is purely a mat
ter Of speculation, no capiases having
yet been issued. At three o'clock Judge
Anthony left for home, saying that he
would not come back even if sent for He
arranged with the clerk OF the court as to
the amount of bail in each case, and bonds
will be taken just as they were in the case
Of Dan Wren, by the clerk accepting the
word Of the bondsmen for the appearance
to-day Of the indicted parties. The grand
jury have put in Just twenty-one DAYS of
active work in the boodlers' cases, and vet
DEMONSTRATION Is unfinished Nearly every
hour furnishes something in the way of a
new clew, and the frauds upon frauds en-
braced in the conspiracy to plumber the coun-
ty seem to multiply as the inquiry advances.
AS soon as it became known that true bills
had been found, there was grand rush for
the sheriff's Office. County commissioners,
local politicians, newspaper men and friends
OF the boodlers were the first to arrive.
There was much excitement and eager
questioning as to whom the unfortunates
were. A full force of deputies were kept
on hand for three hours. At last it was
conceded that capiases could not possibly
be gotten ready soon enough TO overcome
the vigorous protest Of Sheriff Matson
against serving them at a time when it
might be necessary TO lock any prisoners up
over night. Reluctantly all arrests were
put off until morning. Except the jurors
and Mr.. Grinnells staff no person was al
lowed to know positively the names Of those
indicted. There is no reason to doubt,
however, that the list is composed of five
members Of the present board of county
commissioners. three commissioners and
a number Of contractors and employees,
necessitating in all eighteen new arrests in
addition to the commissioners, ex-commis-
sioners, wardens and others now under
bail.

Legislature passed a law modifying the
felony clause Of the johnson gambling Law

the Johnson Gambling law. In the act
